What were you doing on 9/11/01 and after it happened how many people wanted or did join the Service?

Question

I was laying in bed with my wife when we got a phone call saying that a plane had hit one of the Towers. Being that I worked for a Major Airline at the time, I thought they were mistaken. When they called back and said that another plane hit the Pentagon and got up and said they were crazy until I turned on the tv. Moments later I got a call from work saying that my services were not need. I will remember this for the rest of my life

Answer 1

I was in a delivery truck for Water For Life (Basically an Aquafina rip off) and I was at a Red Light in marietta, GA... Suddenly three major wrecks occurred around my vehicle... The wierd part for me was when no one got out of their cars... All of them just sat there with a look of shock on their face as they turned up their radios. After a few minutes they all got out to inspect the damage, but were all talking about the plane crashing into the World Trade Towers.

I high tailed it home and witnessed the second plane crash as I walked in the door and turned on the TV...the announcer said it was footage and then said, "Wait, that is the other Tower...Oh My God! This is tragic. Say a prayer, folks...we just witnessed the loss of hundreds of people. I'm speechless."

At that moment I went to get my family prepared, loaded up the guns...went and stocked the pantry... I thought we were a step away from War and Internal Panic...anarchy.

I was at the signing office the next day and was rejected due to a pin in my knee three days later.

Answer 2

I was up that morning and watching the news when it suddenly came on. Then the next plane hit the 2nd tower and soon the pentagon..........I was horrified---I lived in Wyoming at the time and I called my mom and told her to turn on the TV right away. I knew when I seen the first plane hit--I had a sick feeling it was terrorists. I will never forget that day either. The place I worked at--closed up that day.

Answer 3

I was at work. When I heard a plane had hit the trade center I thought it was small single engine, I couldn't believe it when I heard it was a passanger jet.

One of my coworkers had a brother in the tower, he had called and said he was ok, he just couldn't get out.

Our whole office was listening on the radio, someone brought in a T.V. and we just watched things unfold.. People were receiving emails from people close to the scene describing what was happening there it was unbelieveable. One email was from someone who worked at Barclay's right next to the WTC and it sent chills down my spine. He was describing the scene, telling of the people jumping out of the building, I remember it like it was yesterday and will never forget. By 10:30 our CEO told everyone to go home.

Answer 4

I was at a products show for my company just starting the day.....and my Mom called me on my cell and told me. I thought ....no way...has to be a joke....then she called me back an hour later and told me both towers went down and pentagon was on fire and another plane crashed in PA. I was in shock and everyone at the show that day had a look of shock on their face. It was surreal and scary *** time. Something I will never forget and all AMERICANS should never forget!

Answer 5

Answer 6

I was in school when it happend. I walked into the office and I noticed the room was very quiet when usually it was alittle noisy and everybody in the room was watching the t.v. I looked at the t.v. and saw the towers burning...people jumping from the towers. All against a clear bright blue sky. Everybody was alittle nervous in the school, I will always remember it.

Answer 7

I can think of 2 that signed up after 9/11. One young man signed up soon after, and a young woman who signed up as soon as she was old enough.
I was arguing with my daughter while driving her to school when we heard about it on the radio. It was not very clear exactly why these planes had crashed into buildings, but I told her the country was in trouble. (Kinda like war but kinda not, you know...)
Later I told her I wanted her to hear Pres. Bush's speech responding to the attack. It was History, after all. She apparently found the prospect of a speech on terrorism so distasteful, that she distracted herself during it by taking out my pet Madagascar hissing cockroach and playing with it. She had never done this before and never did again. (She didn't get her squeamishness from me...)
None of us will forget it.
